My Interests:

Embedded systems and real time (video gaming) are my field of expertise. Projects requiring data acquisition (real world data input - manually or automatically), data display (GUI) and data communications (networking or other methods) are my primary interests.

Ever since HTML5 and webGL have been available - this has become my main focus powering all of my projects currently. I continue to write server-side generated page scripts and client-side created pages (with the myriad of frameworks available out there).

I have also designed, setup and brought online - small and medium sized automated high availability systems. Although these are now provided by a number of service providers (such AWS, GCE, Rackspace, etc.) - I still make some on-site for internal and propeitary needs.

To get an idea of my programming skills, I have written sample code and made available to the public:
